Floral Memories

As soon as the snow melted last week, these beauties were showing off for us. I don’t recall planting a single crocus bulb, but the prolific purples have spread like wildfire. Some years there’s a white one or two, but this year, I didn’t see any. The purple may have choked them out!

Interestingly, they’re most prevalent over Fred’s side of the memorial garden. That’s curious, because Sissy wears purple, and always has. So Sissy’s signature color covers Fred’s burial spot. Weird… (They’re both basset hounds, if you haven’t been visiting long enough to remember Fred.)

Thanks Hooey, for the flowers. (Yes, all of my dogs have a host of nicknames!) Do you have blooms yet?

OH Fred, how sweet! Those little beauties remind me of my grandma – she always had crocus in her yard. I noticed mine were up a couple of weeks ago – mind you seeing those pretty purple faces coming through snow is much better than just poking through dirt.

There is a stunning stellar Jay sitting at my pond, looking for food and just looking around. I can see him from my chair. Lovely. Actually I think it’s gathering for next building. g

What a sweet memorial for Fred!! My favorites are the purples because they stand out so beautifully in the snow. We have a pear tree that thinks it is spring and is budding, and my herbs that grow in window planters have decided they want to go outside. (Yes, I talk to them and they talk to me). What a wonderful time of the year!!

Ahhhh, crocus…the harbinger of Spring. They always remind me of my parents, and the house i grew up in. my Mom has plenty of crocus planted around the yard…followed by my favorites, the hyacinth, and tulips and daffs. No wonder I married a dutch guy, and my first dog came from Holland! :o)
